Chapter 131: Jirachi, Ash's Wish Comes True!!
"Hey~"
"Sister Yoko, don't forget one of the goals of joining the Pokémon Summer Camp is that the top three campers who earn the title of 'Outstanding Student' will not only get permission from the Pokémon Alliance to receive their own Pokémon ahead of age, but they'll also be awarded a free starter Pokémon from the Yusanjia selection."
"As long as I earn the Outstanding Student honor at this summer camp, I'll get my own Earl Dervish Pokémon, and the Pokémon tax my mom worked so hard to save for me can be spared."
Ash's tone was cheerful and full of confidence, but Yoko and countless viewers in front of the TV felt a wave of sympathy. Ash was so mature and responsible, it was hard not to feel moved.
Yoko: "Brother Ash…"
Ash: "Sister Yoko, I really respect all the other students in this camp. I know how capable they are but I'm not bad either!!"
"Right now, in the official Summer Camp Student Points Leaderboard 'Score Ranking 883' List, I'm in first place and I'm the only one ranked at the top. That's why I believe in myself."
"And Sister Yoko, since you have your own Pokémon already and want them to learn new techniques, please consider checking out my online store."
"Using my Psychic ability to assist Pokémon in comprehending new moves takes several days per move, but I can promise a success rate of at least 95%."
"If the move fails to be learned, I'll refund the entire order no questions asked." Ash made a sincere pitch to Yoko.
Of course, although Ash framed it as a casual conversation with Yoko during their interview, the real intention was to promote his store to the wider audience tuning in via live broadcast.
What Ash didn't know, however, was that it wasn't just a few thousand trainers across Kanto watching the feed today marked the first official televised day of the Pokémon Summer Camp, and millions of viewers across Kanto had tuned in. The numbers far exceeded anything Ash could have imagined.
Yoko: "Once your online store officially launches, I promise to visit and support your business, and I'll help spread the word to other trainers too."
"But honestly, instead of using your Psychic to help Pokémon learn skills through 'Ash's Skill Miao Miao House'…"
"I think you should consider using your healing-type Psychic abilities to open a 'Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.' I bet it would be a massive hit!" Yoko added with a teasing smile.
Ash: "Oh come on, don't mess with me."
"My dream is to become the strongest Trainer in the Pokémon World, not to be its top cosmetic surgeon. Running an online store to help Pokémon learn moves is already enough."
"After all, I'm just trying to earn a bit of money to ease my mom's burden and cover the future travel expenses needed for my Pokémon journey."
"Earning enough is enough. Earning more than that would just be pointless for me." Ash shook his head firmly as he responded.
Yoko: "Alright then. But Brother Ash, you're so talented and reliable—whether or not 'Ash's Skill Miao Miao House' makes as much as my imaginary 'Beauty Surgery Clinic,' I truly believe your skills shop is going to be incredibly successful."
"After all, the success rate of learning new moves through technical discs (TMs) on the current market is only about 60 to 70% unless used with compatibility supplements or assisted by expert Breeders," Yoko noted, referencing a data point mentioned during Professor Oak's earlier lecture in camp.
"But Brother Ash, when you use your Psychic ability to help Pokémon comprehend and master skills, the success rate is as high as 95%. With such astonishing numbers, I believe more and more Trainers will definitely come to you for help."
"I believe in you, Brother Ash you'll surely make a lot of money."
"When that time comes and you've already earned enough to ease your family's burdens, cover your Pokémon Breeder fees, and fund your travel expenses what will you do with the extra money?" Yoko asked with sincere curiosity.
"Hmm…" Ash tilted his head thoughtfully. "If I do make a lot, I'll first set aside enough for our medical needs just in case my mom or I ever get sick in the future."
"Then, I'll buy some presents for my friends like maybe a Pokédex holster for Goh or a ribbon for Serena. And I also want to set up a charity fund, something like the Pewter City Orphanage Fund that Flint donated to. It'll be to help other kids like me, kids from poor families who can't afford to pay the Earl Dervish Pokémon tax."
"I see people on TV do things like that when they're rich. And when I have money, I want to use it to help others too," Ash said, eyes wide and clear with conviction.
Hearing Ash's pure-hearted plan, Yoko's eyes reddened slightly. She paused, clearly moved, and then looked at Ash with deep admiration.
"Brother Ash… I believe you won't just become the Mightiest Trainer in the Pokémon World you'll also become the most beloved, the one most respected by everyone. Truly the Trainer of Trainers."
"My Arceus, what a kind-hearted child," one viewer typed in the livestream chat. "Born into poverty, and yet after making money, his first thought isn't houses, cars, or luxury he's thinking about helping other kids!"
"Miss Yoko is right Ash won't just be the Mightiest. He'll be a Trainer whose heart shines brighter than any badge."
"The charity of those rich people on TV is mostly just for show. But you, Ash… you're sincere."
"I'm a devout follower of the Cult of Gidu. I sincerely pray to Arceus, the Great Creator please watch over this boy named Ash. He walks this land like your gentle incarnation, a light in this world's darker corners."
"Alright then, Sister Yoko, you've been interviewing me for a while now. You can't just stick with me go see the other students too. Their parents must be hoping to see them on TV," Ash said casually, brushing his bangs.
Yoko: "Brother Ash, you're too thoughtful…"
"Then, I'm off?"
Sigh "Sister, you've really interviewed me long enough!"
Cult of Gidu Followers: "O Great Arceus, Lord of Creation, bless this boy..."
Starwishers: "To the wishing star of Seven Nights Jirachi, sacred spirit of fulfilled wishes, bless this boy named Ash. He is too pure and kind…"
Ash, unaware of the emotional tidal wave surging through households across Kanto, simply thought that he'd wrapped up a solid self-promo for "Ash's Skills Miaomiaowu" through a heartfelt but casual broadcast gently suggesting that Yoko move on to other students.
However, the audience interpreted his comment as another sign of his selflessness and empathy. His public favorability, already high from his rankings in the "Student Score Ranking 883 List," now spiked to unprecedented levels.
Across Kanto, believers of Arceus, devotees of Jirachi, and average citizens alike found themselves whispering prayers, offering blessings, and pledging silent support to the boy with the storm-colored eyes and a heart full of stars.
As for Saffron TV, the official network embedded at the campgrounds, they continued their round-the-clock broadcast of the Pokémon Summer Camp. Ash's initial goal was simple gain exposure for his online store and earn some recognition from the League.
But what he didn't know… was that before even reaching the end of the two-week camp, he had already achieved and far exceeded those goals.
